Description
We teach shito-ryu, a traditional Japanese karate. Our program includes physical conditioning and is structured so that each student progresses at her own rate. New students receive individual instruction by advanced students in the mixed level classes. Once you learn the basic techniques, you will work out at your own level with other students. Our class sizes are small, and instructors provide a high level of individual attention to all students in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
Physical conditioning is but one of many benefits of your karate training. Character development is an essential aspect of traditional karate. Many of our students credit their karate training with helping them in areas as diverse as career focus, abusive relationships, and spiritual growth.
Karate is an excellent lifetime activity that can be adapted to your changing needs and abilities. Women of all ages and aptitudes are learning and enjoying karate. We can individualize your training to adapt for many types of physical challenges. As with any exercise program, if you have doubts about your ability to participate due to injury or ailment, contact your health care practitioner.
Self-defense skills are integral to our karate practice. You will participate in drills that build up reactions to unexpected situations. Our program develops your commitment to defense and confidence in your ability to choose the best response to an attack. Separate short-term courses in self-defense are also offered by our teachers, and custom programs are available upon request.
